Speaking of Watt.

Still can't find those damn Contemplating the Engine Room tabs.

I'm about to lose my mind if I can't find them.

Geezer on "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" for the scariest bass line ever.
Definitely Chris Squire

..and Jamerson only used one finger to pluck!

Also, if anyone doesn't think they have ever heard him play, I will be bet they have and didn't know it. He played on so many songs, it has to be a world record of some sort...

Oh, yeah....let's not forget Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy). He was a great frontman, songwriter, lyricist and his bass playing was very tasty. I dig the chorus effect he frequently used.

I'm sure Jamerson holds the record for bass player who has performed on the most number 1 hits, at least by different individual artists.

Jamerson's bass playing with The Funk Brothers saw them get more number one hits than the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones, Elvis and the Beatles combined!
